2 Introduction The purpose of this certificate program is to provide graduate level education in the important aspects of Regulatory and Quality Compliance in the pharmaceutical industry. In this way, students will have an opportunity to improve their knowledge of regulatory and compliance issues and to explore careers in these exciting areas. Additionally, this program provides background information on the drug development process from discovery to the marketplace. This graduate certificate program consists of three courses, each 3 credit hours, that will be presented on weekends (about one weekend per month) at a convenient location in suburban Chicago. Participants will attend classes 12:30-5:30 p.m. Fridays, 8:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Saturdays and 8:00 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. Sundays. A homework assignment and exams will be given for each major section of the course. The certificate program consists of the following courses: (1) Food and Drug Law I, (2) Drug Development, and (3) Good Regulatory Practice. If taken in successive semesters (fall, spring, and summer), the program can be completed in one calendar year. The development of this program has been a joint effort between, representatives from the pharmaceutical industry (mainly Lilly and Abbott), and the FDA. Individuals who successfully complete the certificate program may have the option to apply these 9 credit hours toward or in partial fulfillment of a Master s degree in Regulatory and Quality Compliance at Purdue. P Program Objectives High quality and appropriate compliance are essential for the viability of American industry, and academia as well. Almost daily, examples come to light showing the downside of poor quality or compliance; operations or organizations closed, fines levied, careers affected, public images besmirched, credibility lost. Regulatory affairs and quality control are particularly important for the pharmaceutical industry. Quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) groups exist in all companies. In addition, a growing number of academic institutions now have QC and QA. Knowing the agencies, the regulations, the regulators, and keeping abreast of regulatory changes is vital for appropriate compliance. Regulatory Affairs staff are charged with these important responsibilities during the development, submission of an application, and marketing of a new drug or device. However, staff for QC and QA and regulatory affairs are most often recruited from operations areas; few have any formal education on the policy and regulations and core principles of their new professions, and most all have no detailed knowledge of specific skills for the job. The Certificate Program is aimed at providing basic education in Regulatory and Quality Compliance as related to drug discovery, development and registration. Courses 1. Food and Drug Law I (PHAD 50100) G. Thomas Wilson, Professor This course uses a legal case-based approach to aid in the understanding of the basic statutory and regulatory building blocks of the pharmaceutical industry, those being adulteration and misbranding. The goals of the course include instilling an awareness of those events that have impacted our field and the legal remedies that have been adopted to deal with such catastrophes as thalidomide, elixir sulfanilamide, the acetaminophen poisonings, and others. Prerequisite: A Bachelor s degree. Basic Definitions & Introduction T. Wilson History of the FDA T. Wilson Basic Concepts of Drug Law T. Wilson Adulteration, Misbranding T. Wilson IND, NDA T.

Animal non-clinical research and human clinical research are discussed in detail. The content of the IND and NDA are discussed along with the Phases (I, II, III) of human clinical research. The CMC (chemistry manufacturing and control) aspects of drug development are also presented, ICH documents, and manufacturing process analytical technologies. The course includes a brief review of patents and proprietary protection. Prerequisite: A Bachelor s degree. Introduction M. Schmidt Drug Discovery How drugs are discovered: strategies & processes M.
